Banana Butter Icing

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2009

I got nothing but soup, even after doubling the powdered sugar, which reduced the banana flavour so I had to add another banana. SHould have done a cream cheese frosting instead.

It was tasty, but I, too, didn't get light and fluffy - even double checked the recipe when the batter volume was so big and only 1 tsp baking powder - oh well, coupled with the soupy banana butter icing - it was an embarassment to me (I'm a retired pastry chef) but my son's college friends ate it up!

Extra Gingery Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 20, 2008

UCK - don't know what went wrong - great creative ingredients, after 90 minute of baking in the 10"springform (didn't say 10: springform TUBE pan) the thing was still an uncooked glob except for the burnt edges. Spooned some of the goo out into a pie pan hoping that at least both pans full of goo would bake and be tasty - turned into TWO pans of greasy mess. Threw it away. Will add the grated fresh ginger and crystalized ginger to one of my tried and true gingerbread recipes.

Sounds interesting, but I'm not sure what to do with the ingredients listed after the phyllo - 1 cup of flour in a yogurt sauce?! Please help!

Creamy Blueberry Pie

Reviewed: Aug. 29, 2008

I don't know, after glowing reviews, maybe I just didn't make this correctly. It was a waste of time and ingredients, including my fresh organic blueberries. This is my first "post a review" but sorry, not even a star from me

Chocolate Cherry Cake IV

Reviewed: Feb. 16, 2008

I must have done something wrong but I followed it to a tee! This cake turned out to be a two inch frisbee I could rap with my knuckles the night before Valentine's Day. By the next day it had softened up, but truly was tasteless. Sorry
